Conrail (CSX) CW40-8 #7302Not the best lighting for a northbound, but the Conrail Blue still stands out as CW40-8 #7302 single-handedly leads a northbound empty grain train up the Saginaw Subdivision passing North Yard in Plymouth. This view shows the diamond area from a southward perspective, an area now inaccessible to the public. The mast signal to the left of the locomotive was in the Chessie era and before a C&O-designed cantilever signal, similar to those in Novi and Wixom. May 16, 2006.GP30M4216
